Unload and reload your hand truck in just 6-8 seconds when using the HTS Ultra-Rack on any model of route delivery vehicle! It takes only 3-4 seconds to access your hand truck and 3-4 seconds to safely store the hand truck aboard the route vehicle! Saving a driver a minute or more during each delivery stop X 30 stops per day = equals a labor cost savings of 2.5 hours per week! Also... your drivers will never forget their hand trucks, waste valuable time, labor or expensive fuel when using the HTS Ultra-Rack! That's how the HTS Ultra-Rack is able to pay for itself in less time than most delivery vehicles can wear out a new set of tires!
The HTS Tilt Mount Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry System offers many advantages over the older out-dated factory OEM hasp-bar and unsafe rubber strap carrier racks. The Hand Truck Sentry System eliminates the possibility of the driver leaving the hand truck miles behind; saving route time and fuel. The front OEM hasp-bar racks are not designed to accommodate hand truck models equipped with stair climbers or a nose plate extension. OEM hand truck racks allow hand trucks to tilt and lean outward and shift during vehicle movement. The Hand Truck Sentry System does not require padlocks to prevent theft or bungee cords to prevent leaning, vibration or movement. OEM and Aftermarket hand truck racks require two hands to off-load and reload the hand truck. You need only one hand to operate the HTS Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry!Having an extra free hand to hold your paperwork or to allow the driver to firmly brace himself on slippery, ice or snow covered ground surfaces is extremely beneficial.
Every month large companies will spend millions of dollars marketing their products, advertising and protecting their brand's positioning, identity and reputation. Just one accident resulting in a serious injury or death caused by negligence can damage the reputation and inadvertently change the confidence and opinion of the buyer towards the brand's name. This consumer perception may take years to overcome, even if the company is later found not negligent or liable for a highway accident! Adverse media exposure that focuses on a brand name vehicle can have dire consequences.
When we visit with our HTS customers and their route drivers we discovered that most beverage distributors and food service employees are very protective as they proudly express their loyalty and the quality of their company's products and brands. Companies have long known that employee professionalism, attitude and appearance are extremely important to protect the brand's image. Providing new technology or equipment that allows route drivers to accomplish their tasks safer, faster and easier reduces daily stress and dramatically improves a driver's confidence and attitude.

HTS Systems' patented Hand Truck Sentry System prevents delivery drivers from leaving their hand trucks behind, saves fuel and labor by eliminating retrieval time, reduces route time, worker injuries, highway accidents and bacterial cross-contamination. The HTS also increases cargo space while reducing hand truck damage and theft, product damage, insurance claims and refrigeration temperature loss. It quickly pays for itself, while it protects your business from liability and saves $$$ thousands per vehicle!
The HTS Ultra-Rack saves a route driver a minute or more per delivery stop, that's about 2.5 hours per week! It simple; save a minute per stop X 30 stops per day = 600 mins. per month or 120 hours per year X $10 per hour = $1,200 dollars in annual savings! For one delivery vehicle over a 4 year time period = $4,800 dollars in labor + $400 in fuel savings + $300 in hand truck replacements = $5,500 dollars! Include additional payload cargo area, less freight claims damage, less driver injuries, reduced liability and insurance costs = $2,000 per year or about $8,000 dollars in a four year time period! Prevent a workmen's compensation injury claim or an expensive liability lawsuit and well... you get the point! The HTS Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry System is a safer, faster, easier and one-handed method; a patented solution that pays for itself over and over. What other investment could you possibly make in your company and truck fleet that will give you that large of a return and that type of protection? Any driver who rushes back (off-route) in a hurry to retrieve their forgotten hand truck is no longer a safe driver, they instantly become a liability! The ancient hand truck carrier racks of the past eventually fail and it usually occurs when the delivery truck is traveling. Often these types of failures result in catastrophic highway accidents, severe injuries and costly lawsuits and legal settlements.
On average, it takes approximately 0.5 to 1.5 (½ - 1½) minutes to unload and reload a hand truck aboard a commercial route truck, depending on the truck body type, door locks, deck height, securing method, cargo space, driver fitness and the hand truck weight and model. Unlocking padlocks, unlocking and reopening doors, physical lifting and climbing and moving cargo to access is valuable time! Upon completing the delivery; the driver will loose additional time to reopen the cargo area to safely store hand truck aboard the vehicle. Many drivers toss their hand trucks on top of fragile products causing claims damage. When drivers must back track off route to retrieve a forgotten hand truck it usually takes about 20-30 minutes round trip. Hand truck retrievals can cost delivery companies thousands in fuel and labor! The average route driver will forget their hand truck 4-6 times per year. Most supervisors only hear about it once or twice, or when the hand truck is lost or stolen! Unloading and reloading the hand truck aboard vehicles with a hasp bar or a rubber strap hand truck carrier frame requires additional time and the use of both hands. When a driver works off the back of the truck and also docks to warehouse doors it is very common for him to remove the hand truck from vehicle to the loading dock area so that a pallet jack or forklift can enter. Often times the driver forgets to reload the hand truck aboard the cargo area before departure, leaving it miles behind!

How the HTS Ultra-Rack works:
The vehicle arrives at the delivery location and the driver determines the hand truck is required. Prior to turning off the vehicle’s ignition, the driver activates the HTS release switch located in or under the interior cab dash. This action opens the HTS Ultra-Rack and releases the hand truck. The driver exits the vehicle, walks up to the HTS unit, moves the hand truck to the upright position and then pulls the lower section of the hand truck out, removing it from the HTS Ultra-Rack receiving chute. This quick and easy action be can accomplished almost effortlessly using only one hand.
After the delivery or pick-up, the driver fully inserts the hand truck into the HTS receiving chute and moves the handtruck forward contacting the HTS Push-Bar. The driver then rocks the hand truck forward firmly to a complete locked position for safe travel. Again; this simple loading action can be done quickly and safely using only one hand!
If the hand truck is not loaded aboard the vehicle or the HTS Ultra-Rack is not properly locked, the LED indicator light and alarm will sound when the truck is started. The HTS warns the driver before departure eliminating lost, forgotten and stolen hand trucks and retrieval time. The HTS saves fuel and time! The HTS also allows for more cargo capacity and eliminates hand truck contact, preventing damage and freight claims.

The HTS-Ultra-Rack for Armored Vehicles:
We are confident that we have a safety and ergonomic enhancement that can reduce the amount of times the vehicle vault is opened by 45% percent! Reduce the vault access by hundreds of times per week and also decrease the standard delivery (open-door) time, by hours per week; thereby increasing the armored personnel safety, the vault security, the route productivity; while reducing risk and company liability. We have observed many guards leaning and reaching with their torso inside the vehicle. The guard’s visibility momentarily obstructed, their back facing towards crowded sidewalks and parking lots, while focusing on lifting and handling their hand truck. The hand truck tires and load plate often transfer dirt, mud and snow into the cargo area, causing currency bags and valuable items to become wet or dirty. We have also been informed by armored guards who had injured themselves because they slipped on wet floors within the vehicle and fell onto their hand trucks. We are very confident that our HTS-10T units can increase armored personnel safety, vehicle vault security, route productivity, fuel economy and save armored car companies thousands of dollars per vehicle!
